Mid twenties, from Cumbria (the Lake District) in the North of England.

Live and work in Manchester with girlfriend Flora.

Lived in Lille, France for two years.

Trying to be a good designer.

Huge cycling advocate/nerd. Outdoor enthusiast. Food and drink lover.

Cat owner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly as Flora and I have temporarily left our lives in Manchester to go to New Zealand. We're taking our bicycles and have aspirations of cycling back to the UK.

So, the chance to meet some new people along the way, and maybe get the odd shower, would be nice. If you don't mind us turning up a bit sweaty, we'll hopefully have some interesting tales to tell...

Flora is vegetarian and I eat everything. We love food.

Here is our account of our trip so far:

Once we're back, there should be a couch or bed free, wherever we settle in the North of England.
